اين شعر متعلق به يك كودك افريقايي است كه نامزد دريافت جايزه بهترين شعر سال 2005 شد

When I born, I Black
When I grow up, I Black,

When I go in Sun, I Black,

When I scared, I Black,

When I sick, I Black,

And when I die, I still black.


And you White fella,
When you grow up, you White,
When you go in Sun, you Red,

When you cold, you blue,
When you scared, you yellow,
When you sick, you Green,

And when you die, you Gray
And you calling me colored??
